Form No. 1097 ~ II eld April 6, 1987 19 The regularly scheduled meeting of the Dublin Village Council was called to order by Mayor Michael L. Close at 7:32 P.M. on Monday, April 6, 1987. Mr. Rozanski led the Pledge of Allegiance. Members of Council present were: Mr. Amorose, Mayor Close, Mr. Jankowski, Ms. Maurer, and Mr. Rozanski. Mr. Sutphen was absent. Mr. Thornton was excused. Mr. Stephen J. Smith, Law Director, and Ms. Nan Prushing, Acting Village Manager were present as were Ms. Clarke, Mr. Darragh, Mr. Harding, Mr. Johnson, Ms. Jordan, Chief Mayer, and Mr. Olausen of the Village Staff. Mr. Jankowski moved to approve the minutes of the March 16, 1987 meeting of Council. Mr. Amorose seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion. Mr. Amorose moved to approve payment of the bills. Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. Mayor Close mentioned the Health One bill of $496.44; that being a distinc bill from, and in addition to the payment to Health Benefits Mutual. Ms. Prushing explained that any group with 25 or more employees is require to offer a "Health One-type program". She noted that Health One's program was such that their cost per employee was less so that an option was offered to employees, and four or five employees selected Health One as their option as opposed to Central Benefits. The vote on approving payment of the bills was 5-0. Presentation to Mrs. Beth Brooks. Mayor Close presented to Mrs. Beth Brooks an award of appreciation for her service to the community as a member and Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Committee, her term having ended on December 31, 1986. Correspondence. There was no objection to a request for a one day liquor permit for a function to be held on May 2, 1987, at the OCLC Atrium by the Caprice Unit of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. Mayor Close reminded Council members of the Bocce Ball Tournament with the Chamber of Commerce to be held on Wednesday, April 8, 1987, at 7:30 P.M. at the LaScala Restaurant. Mayor Close also referred to a letter from the City of Reynoldsburg. The letter stated that there has been a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial commissioned, and that replica is going by van across the county. The replica will be at the Reynoldsburg City Hall from April 18 until April 24, with a brief opening ceremony on April 18 at 1:00 P.M. Mayor Close recommended a visit to Reynoldsburg to see a very moving tribute. Ordinance No. 32-87 - Authorize Agreement to Provide Fire Hydrant Maintenance Services. Second Reading.

Mr. Amorose introduced the ordinance. Mr. Amorose moved to refer the ordinance to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. The vote was 5-0 in favor of the motion. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS M illutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~~ICS Meetillg National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held April 6, 1987 19 Page Two Ordinance No. 34-87 - Annexation of 7.105! Acres in Washington Township to Dublin. First Reading. Mr. Amorose introduced the ordinance. The ordinance will have a second reading on Monday, April 20, 1987. Ordinance No. 35-87 - Approval to Award Contract for Frantz Road Land- scaping. First Reading. Mr. Amorose introduced the ordinance. Mr. Amorose moved to do away with the three time reading rule and treat as an emergency. Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. The vote was 5-0 in favor of the motion. The bid from Site Improvement Company in the amount of $16,608.00 was accepted as the lowest/best bid. The vote on the ordinance was unanimous in favor. Ordinance No. 36-87 - Approval to Award Contract for Brand Road Waterline. First Reading. Mr. Rozanski introduced the ordinance. Mr. Rozanski asked Mr. Olausen if Music and Underwood Inc. had bid on anything previously in the Village of Dublin. Mr. Olausen said that they had not, but that on inquiring in surrounding communities that he was told that their work had been satisfactory. Mr. Amorose moved to do away with the three time reading rule and treat as an emergency. Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion. The vote was 5-0 in favor of the ordinance. Ordinance No. 37-87 - Accept Quotation for Consulting Services for Economic Component of Community Plan. First Reading. Ms. Maurer introduced the ordinance. Ms. Prushing said that Mr. Bowman has a time line that he has drawn up that has the various component plans that have already been contracted with, and it would be necessary to pass this ordinance as an emergency so that the Village can get some of the preliminary studies done in April. It is projected that the final plan could be in effect by June or completed by June. Ms. Maurer moved to do away with the three time reading rule and treat as an emergency. Mr. Amorose seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion. The vote on the ordinance was 5-0 in favor. Ordinance No. 38-87 - Requiring Council Review and Approval of any Public Utilities Built by any Political Subdivision. First Reading. Mr. Amorose introduced the ordinance. Mayor Close said that he did understand that the intent of the ordinance was to prevent the type of situation that heppened with the water tower on Summitview Road. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ Meetillg National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held April 6, 1987 19 Page Three Mayor Close also said that he had a real question as to whether or not this was the way that this should be done; that he felt that staff has an absolute responsibility to keep Council informed, and that this method appears to be "dumping" that responsibility back to Council when in fact it should be a function of staff. Ms. Maurer referred to the Law Director's opinion, noting that he said that "because the instant ordinance only applies to utilities proposed by municipal corporations, and functions primarily to advise Council of the proposed project, said ordinance is a valid and reasonable exercise of municipal authority". She said that she felt that the ordinance gives Council a public review and allows Council to withhold a building permit; that this gives Council a great deal more power, it is not merely a notice provision, so she felt that that should be taken into account. The ordinance will be held over for a second reading on April 20, 1987. Ordinance No. 39-87 - Implementing Interim Development Controls in the Northeast Quadrant of the Village of Dublin. First Reading. Mr. Amorose introduced the ordinance. Mr. Stephen Smith said that the ordinance was prepared at the recommenda- tion of staff because of a concern regarding the upcoming development on the east side of Sawmill Road. One of the developer's attorneys requested that it be added that if the northeast quadrant study is completed prior to the period that is in the ordinance, that the ordinance be amended to say that the matter not come up for vote until the eight month period or until such a time as the northeast quad study is completed if that period of time happens to be sooner. Mayor Close noted that that issue had already been addressed in Section 1 of the ordinance. The boundaries of the study area will be Interstate 270 to the Delaware County Line, Sawmill Road, and the Scioto River. Mayor Close said that the ordinance does not say that there will be no development; essentially what it says is that there will be no upgrading, rezoning, in that period of time. If somebody wants to come in and develop under the existing zoning they can do so. Persons can apply for a rezoning, but Planning and Zoning will take no votE on that application until either eight months (unless it is extended to a year by Council), or until the master plan and quadrant study are completed. Mr. Pumphrey, a resident, asked when the Village would provide sewer and waterlines in that area or would the Village require the developer(s) to do all that. Mayor Close said that he thought that it was accurate to say that the Village will expect in that development, as the Village has seen in most of the development on the west side of the river, that the developers will pay for the sewage, the water, and they will pay for a substantial portion of the roadways. The reason for the delay is making sure that once this starts to build, that the Village knows what will be needed. Mr. Pumphrey noted that he has not seen any improvements on the east side of the river since they moved into Dublin. Mayor Close commented that one of the reasons that the w~st side of the river developed before the east is because when the developers came in they were willing to commit the dollars for the water and sewerlines (the private developers were). He noted that no community can afford to put RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ICS Meeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held April 6, 1987 19 Page Four in the entire water, sewage, and road system at a given time so that it sites there, waiting for development to happen. It was noted that the improvements come as the development takes place. Ms. Clarke commented that the improvements on the west side of the river have been funded primarily by developers. Mr. James Wood, a resident of Martin Place, noted that when he moved into his home that he padi $4,000.00 for sewer and water service. Mayor Close commented that the Village does provide some of the services, but that the developers "pick up" a substantial portion of the cost of those items. Mr. Jankowski said that he supports this legislation; that it is needed but he also said that he was not sure that it goes far enough, and asked why not have an interim cessation of rezonings for both the northeast and the northwest quadrant and any other area that is affected in Dublin. Mr. Muchnicki asked what the quadrant study will be used for, saying that it was his impression that the northwest study is used as a guideline, and is disregarded more often than followed. Ms. Maurer had a question with regard to the phrase in the ordinance... "for a period of eight months from the effective date of this ordinance or until the Master Plan and Northeast Quadrant Study are completed and approved by Council". Ms. Maurer asked Ms. Clarke whether the intention was that the Master Plan be completed before the Northeast Quadrant Study is completed, or she said that she thought that there was a possibility that the Northeast Quadrant Study would be started at a certain point, and the Master Plan when the growth statement came out and it might be completed prior to the Master Plan and perhaps the words Master Plan might be omitted until the Northeast Quadrant Study is completed. Ms. Clarke said that she thought that that was correct; that the informati n needs to be gathered first. The Northeast Quadrant Study will be complete prior to the point that the Village would have what would formally be known as a Master Plan. Ms. Maurer asked Ms. Prushing to comment as to how the water and sewerlines are paid for. Ms. Prushing said that the majority of the major trunk lines that have com= into the Village (mentioning in particular the Old Dublin waterline and the Coffman/Sawmill waterline were a combination of assessment and Village participation). Those were major trunk lines. A lot of the lines that have provided water and sewer facilities for individual developments have been paid for by the developers, and the Village has entered into payback agreements with the developers. In some instances the Village has required that a larger size line than what was required to service that particular site has been put in and the Village pays the difference. Mr. Amorose moved to refer the ordinance to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Ms. Maurer seconded the motion. The vote was 5-0 in favor of the motion. Ordinance No. 40-87 - Amend Communications Contract with Perry Township. First Reading. Mr. Rozanski introduced the ordinance. Mr. Rozanski asied if this increase in cost would provide for the 911 service. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ICS Meet illg National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held April 6, 1987 19 Page Five Ms. Prushing said that that allows for part of the cost; that Perry Township has a lease arrangement with the 911 system that takes place over a five year period, and that the Township has attributed one half of the cost of the lease amount as the Village's cost. The increase is $8,000.00; $5,300.00 is attributable to the 911 cost. In the event that Dublin would become a city, Mr. Smith said that Dublin could contract to buy the equipment lease the equipment or could contract with the Township to continue to use their services. It was noted that one alternative could also be an equity interest. Ms. Maurer moved to do away with the three time reading rule and treat as an emergency. Mr. Amorose seconded the motion. Ms. Prushing said that the Village has had a contract; that the contract was in effect in 1971, and that the amendments in terms of the cost increases could possibly be viewed the same as rate increases by C&SOE (for example). She noted that since this contract had not really come before Council since 1974 in the form of an ordinance that she thought that it might be appropriate that Council approve the increase this time. The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion to do away with the three time reading rule and treat as an emergency. The vote on the ordinance was 5-0 in favor. Ordinance No. 41-87 - Accept Lowest/Best Bid for Vehicle Fleet Insurance. First Reading. Mr. Amorose introduced the Ordinance. Mr. Amorose asked if the Village could actively seek out additional bids by possibly contacting companies. Mr. Harding said that that is usually the process; that that is done each year, and the last two years the Village still only got one bid. He noted that a lot of insurance companies do not want to take the risk of insuring municipalities in any form. Ms. Maurer mentioned self-insurance, and said that she had read that the Ohio Municipal Leage is "ready to go" into providing self-insurance. Mr. Harding said that he has been monitoring that situation; that he was at a meeting where the topic was discussed and that they expect that within the next couple of months they will be on their way towards making it operation. He noted that auto liability is one form of insurance that will be covered in the pool, together with property and general liability. Mr. Harding will prepare a memorandum on the pros and cons of self- insurance. The ordinance was held over for a second reading on Monday, April 20, 1987 Ordinance No. 42-87 - Adopting a Memorandum of Agreement - Village of Dublin and Sherman Sheldon. First Reading. Ms. Maurer introduced the ordinance. Ms. Maurer moved to waive the three time reading rule and treat as an emergency. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ Meeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ 1I eld April 6, 1987 19 Page Six Ms. Maurer explained that this is a final agreement with Mr. Sheldon as to the Village's termination arrangements with him, which includes an agreement with him as to his sick leave, vacation pay, and comp time for his entire period of employment with Dublin. Ms. Maurer went on to say that all are indebted to Mr. Sheldon for the years of service to the Village. Mr. Jankowski seconded the motion. Mayor Close said that Mr. Sheldon is doing very well, and joined with Ms. Maurer and the rest of the members of Council in thanking him for his years of dedicated service to the Village. The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion. Mayor Close also indicated that Mr. Sheldon would prefer that a suggested reception be deferred until after March of 1988 when he officially retires The vote on the ordinance was 5-0 in favor. Resolution No. 06-87 - Statement of Services for Proposed Annexation of 11.677! Acres in Washington Township. First Reading. Ms. Maurer introduced the resolution. Ms. Maurer moved to waive the three time reading rule and treat as an emergency. Mr. Amorose seconded the motion. The vote was 5-0 in favor of the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor of the ordinance. Other Request for Approval of Final Plat, Brandon Section 2, Phase 1. Mr. James Olausen, Acting Village Engineer, referred to the memorandum written to Council Members regarding a Village sedimentation policy. Mr. Olausen noted that sedimentation control is a legitimate concern; that it is something that should be looked at fairly closely in order to determine the type of design policies that the Village should be requiring of the engineering firms when they submit plans to the Village. Mr. Olausen recommended, on this project, that until a Village sedimentaticn policy is in place, that the developer be required to put hay bales around the inlets, etc. in order to catch the mud before it goes into the river. He noted that other sedimentation control measures will be examined in the future, but that this will be an acceptable interim measure. It was noted that the plan has been amended to reflect that that are going to do that. Mr. Olausen saidt hat he is looking to have a Village sedimentation policy in effect by June 1, 1987. Mayor Close told Mr. Muchnicki that he appreciated his bringing this matter to the attention of the Village Council at the last meeting. Mr. Muchnicki suggested that Mr. Olausen get in touch with Mr. Larry Vance regarding the establishment of such a policy. Mrs. Brooks recalled that there is a letter on file that was addressed to Mr. Warner from Mr. Vance on this subject as it related to the pond areas in Brandon. Ms. Maurer moved for approval. Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS M illutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting natiol gd&li6 Meet illg National Graphics Corp., Cols.. O. Form No. 1097 ~ 1I eld April 6, 1987 19 Page Seven Request for Approval of Concept Plan - Quarry Place Ms. Clarke had the following comments: 1. The application was tabled due to some interest in gathering more information with regard to the wetlands area. 2. Ms. Jordan has been working with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources on that particular issue. 3. There is additional information regarding the Snow Trillium. 4. It is thought that with sophisticated engineering such a development could be made compatible with wetlands regions. Ms. Jordan had the following comments and information: 1. Have met with Mr. Dick Moseley who is the Chief of the Division of Natural Areas and preserves within the Department of Natural Resources. 2. Several persons toured the site with Mr. Moseley, including persons from the Columbus Parks and Recreation Department. 3. Referred to a letter from Mr. Moseley which states that this area is not of the quality of natural area that the State would be interested in enough to acquire, but that it does represent a very fine natural urban area. It also buffers the greatest natural resource, which is the river and the wetlands area that come into the Scioto River at this point. 4. The Division of Water was consulted with regard to the amount of ground water that comes out of the bank just below Riverside Drive that creates the marshy area, as well as a couple of ponds. It has been noted that with specialized engineering the hydrology would not have to be - you would not ruin the wetlands. There would have to be specialized engineering in the area in order to allow ground water to flow through. 5. The Parks and Recreation Committee's position still is that there would have to be a sale of public property that is owned by the City of Columbus to the developer for this project. They still oppose that, but having investigated other things that will happen if this land is sold and the development goes on so that they can maintain some control and preserve portions of the land. Mr. Gregory Lashutka was present, representing the developer, Mr. H. R. Ransom. Mr. Lashutka said that he was prepared to address the issues that Council addressed themselves to at the last meeting - the environmental issues, the traffic issues, and the density issues. 1. Environmental Issues A. Also met with Dick Moseley and Mr. Moseley informed Mr. Lashutka, via two letters that: 1) the prime natural resource of the Village of Dublin is the Scioto River and anything that will serve to protect and enhance this resource ought to be preserved. 2) the site does have no populations of the rare Snow Trillium the population of the Snow Trillium appears to be to the south of this property, with approximately 248 plants; 3) the Ohio Natural Areas Council Resolution No. 2-87 was passed in support of the Snow Trillium (Trillium Nivale) along the Scioto River near Dublin. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ICS Meeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No, 1097 ~ II eld Ap r il 6, 1987 19 Page Eight B. Water pools. 1) Water comes through the rock. 2) Mr. Alan Shepherd, an engineer, suggested a way for preservation of the water. Met with engineers from Burgess and Niple. The previous project done by Mr. Ransom known as The Quarry - at that site similar problems were encountered. In this particular project, the sources of the water were found not to be artesian in nature but found it to be merely water that seeped in from the ground up around Sawmill Road, which hit an impenetrable layer and followed that layer to this site. Through some coordination with the engineers from Burgess and Niple they have done some engineering; have taken the outcropping of rocks that exists on the site and intend to use that outcropping to let the water flow freely into pipe underneath the parking lot and the road, and then produce an identical type of rock formation on the other side to allow the water to leach back into the environment exactly as it came in in the first place. Ms. Jordan said that she did get a commitment from the Department of Natural Resources, the Division of Water that they are willing to review the plans on the engineering to make sure that the hydrology is maintained in a way or managed in a way to satisfy the Village. 2. Traffic Issue Mr. Gary Palatas was present at the meeting to speak to this particular issue. Mr. Lashutka said that Mr. Palatas, a traffic engineer, would speak to three key areas: the intersection of 33 and 161; the Martin Road area; the entranceway into the project. Mr. Lashutka referred to a letter from Mr. Graham Browne in which Mr. Browne noted that the residential property located at 6365 Riverside Drive between his office building and this proposed project - he noted that he has had discussions with the property owner and that should they decide to sell that he would have an interest in purchasing the property. Mr. Browne said that if that eventuality should occur, that he would be willing to relocate the existing curb cut on his property and relocate it further south so that a common curb cut would exist for use by the Quarry Place and his office building. Mr. Palatas reported that they counted the intersection at Martin Road and U.S. 33; then did a count at U.S. 33 and S.R. 161. Traffic counts, he noted, are done at the worst peak hour; in this case it was the evening peak hour. Mr. Palatas's recommendations were as follows: 1. A 100 foot long right turn lane should be constructed on Martin Road. 2. Re-stripe U.S. 33 to provide a 100 foot long left turn lane. 3. Re-stripe the intersection of U.S. 33 and S.R. 161 for three eastbound lanes, one westbound left turn lane and one north- bound left turn lane. 4. Provide a minimum of a 500 foot sight distance at the driveway, serving the site. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ICS Meeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held April 6, 1987 19 Page Nine He noted that even with existing development that intersection is still a problem. Mr. Palatas said that they analyzed the traffic situation presented by Mr. Browne's office building and transferred those figures to these proposed buildings, noting that the uses would be similar, as well as being very dissimilar to the situation, for example, at Wendy's International. In summary Mr. Palatas said that with some minor modifications, traffic can be accommodated. 3. Density Issue. Mr. Lashutka said that they have met with some of the neighbors regarding the development on the east side of Riverside Drive, and further stated that Mr. Ransom would be willint to eliminate buildings labeled I and J. Mr. Amorose pointed out that density would not actually be reduced because the size of the site was being reduced. It was noted that there are two separate parcels on the east side and the developer would desire to develop the front parcel. Mr. Rozanski commented on the possibility of the developer selling off the back parcel, increasing the density, leaving it open for future development. Responding to a concern expressed by Mr. Rozanski regarding the Marti Road, U.S. 33 intersection, Mr. Palatas said that there was really no site distance problem in that area; that the drive would be up approximately 200' on Martin Road. Mr. Jack Parren, a resident of Martin Place, said that it was his feeling that what was being discussed was really two developments -one on the west side of Riverside Drive and one on the east side. Mr. Parren said that he had been informed by Mr. Lashutka and Mr. Ransom that they could only but the parcel on the west side of the river if they bought the parcel on the east side as well. Mr. Parren had a positive response to the left turn lane onto Martin Road, going south on Riverside Drive. He also did say, however, that widening Martin Road would only cause more traffic, providing a cut-through from Sawmill Road to Riverside Drive. He noted that the only problem he had with the proposed development on the west side would be the traffic; that he liked what Mr. Ransom had done on the project known as The Quarry. When asked what he would suggest for the site on the east side of RiversidE Drive, Mr. Parren suggested that it might be appropriate for a large residential home or perhaps even some cluster housing. Mayor Close said that he thought that what the Village must decide is whether on the east side of Riverside Drive on Martin Road there will be commercial development or not. He noted that in any event the traffic situation will have to be dealt with. Mrs. Barbara Holt, a resident of 3191 Martin Road, presented a petition to members of Council that had been circulated and signed by 64 residents on Martin Road, Martin Place, Braxmar, and Lilly Mar Court, opposing the development. The residents have expressed concerns as a result of recent development with an increase in vandalism, break ins, trespassing, as well as traffic problems. She noted that they had also been told that the speed limit cannot be enforced. Mrs. Holt said that the residents would like to see the area remain residential. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ICS Meeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held April 6 , 1987 19 Page Ten Ms. Maurer asked what the City of Columbus plans to do along Sawmill Road. Mr. Palatas said that north of S.R. 161 the City of Columbus and the developers are widening that out to up to seven lanes, which should be under construction this year. South of S.R. 161 Columbus is working with other developers in the area (Meijer, Plaza Properties); last year they added a third lane on Sawmill Road south of S.R. 161; they want to add a fourth lane this year. At the present time, in terms of Sawmill Road, their major funding is taking place at Sawmill Road and Beth Road and that should be under design this year. Mr. Palatas said that at this time he does not see that much cut-through traffic on Martin Road. He also pointed out that in his experience that one cannot make such a road easy for the residents to use and difficult for people who cut through to use; you have to make it difficult for everyone; all the signs in the world will not make any difference. Mr. Ralph Hogle once again expressed his concern regarding the proposed driveway being directly across his own, and the great difficulty in getting out on to Riverside Drive. Mayor Close reminded those present that the request was approval of a concept plan, meaning that if Council would approve, in principle, the applicant would need to come back to prove that they can get the traffic to work to get preliminary plat approval. Another resident expressed a concern regarding the east side of the road. She mentioned that she felt that the house on that particular piece of property "was in terrible shape" but that structurally it is O.K. She also noted the steep incline on the property. Mr. Lashutka said that they had examined the home and determined that there was no way to keep that particular structure. Mr. Wood asked what kind of zoning the Village would have along Martin Road; he noted that he would be opposed to spot zoning and suggested that the Village not "pick Martin Road to death". Mr. Palatas reiterated - regardless of what you do regarding the rezoning, re-stripe the intersection. Mr. Woodrow Holt of Martin Road noted that Martin Road from Riverside Drive to Krier Drive is completely residential, and his request was that the Village not rezone it one piece at a time for commercial purposes. Mr. Hold said that he was surprised at the overwhelming support they received when circulating the petitions; 64 signatures out of 67 persons contacted. Mayor Close asked the residents that knowing what is planned for the area to the south of Martin Road (City of Columbus) will they still be willing to live there. A resident of 6350 Riverside Drive said that he thought that this would be a very attractive development and that construction of same would improve the present homeowners' values as well as providing what he felt would be a very attractive gateway. Mr. Amorose moved to modify the project, eliminating the commercial on the east side of Riverside drive. There was no second to the motion. Mr. Rozanski moved to approve the concept plan with the modification that only two buildings on the east side of Riverside Drive be incorporated into the concept plan. Ms. Maurer seconded the motion. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ Meeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ II eld April 6, 1987 19 Page Eleven Mayor Close said that he would agree with Mr. Amorose - that he would very much support the development on the west side of Riverside Drive, that that he does not know if he could ignore the request of the citizens that the development on the east side remain residential. Mr. Jankowski said that he felt that it would be unfair to say that he likes this concept when he really does not. Mr. Lashutka said that if Council would like the developer to eliminate the commercial on Martin Road from the plan and just discuss the west side of Riverside Drive; that they would prefer eliminating the commercial on the east side and allow the west side to go as far as the concept plan. Mr. Rozanski and Ms. Maurer withdrew their motion. Mr. Amorose moved to modify the application by eliminating the east side development (that on the east side of Riverside Drive). Mayor Close seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Jankowski, no; Mayor Close, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes. Request for Approval of Concept Plan - JALL Ms. Clarke said that JALL is a 12 acre piece located on the south side of S.R. 161 on the southwest corner of Hobbs Drive and S.R. 161. The site is immediately opposite a site zoned PUD for a BMW dealership. The ap- plicant is looking for commercial zoning in a PUD classification. His onl known user at this point would use the section immediately at that inter- section and it would be used for an appliance and sporting goods store (a Golden Bear). The applicant went to the Planning and Zoning Commission and was told that there were several things on which the Commission would like to see some improvement and the Commission was not happy with the two curb cuts on S.R. 161. The Commission wanted to see considerably more architectural control and blending between the uses that exist both to the east and west of the site. To the east of the site is the BMW dealership which is to be constructed of a white and gray material; to the west is the Stoneridge office building which is one story. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval subject to considerably more control over uses to be installed on the rest of the site as well as architectural considerations. Mr. Lashutka said that since the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting they have worked together with the people who are part of the First Family. They, a couple of years ago, got together with the Jack Nicklaus concept. There are three stores currently in Columbus. The store is approximately 15,000 square feet. The property will be adjacent to the BMW dealership. 6. Mr. Ted Princehorn, President of First Family Group, had the following comments: 1. They have several companies. 2. First Family is a holding company for 3. All of these companies are engaged in home appliances. The mother company, Homecenters, is operated and was founded some 36 years ago in northern Ohio. It was approximately a year ago that they enjoined themselves in a partnership with Jack Nicklaus to engage in a prototype group of stores. An important aspect is the identity which has taken the shape in the form of the glass black frontage with an atrium. three different companies. the retail sale of major 4. 5. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ At eet ing National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ II eld April 6, 1987 19 Page Twelve 7. Following the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, discussions wer held to address the issue of transition. 8. This building will blend with the BMW building and it is their intention that the remainder of the PUD will be a blending with the Stoneridge development. The stone fence will be brought from the west up to the corner and then transition in with the rest of the piece. 9. This building will be of stucco material. Ms. Clarke pointed out that the Village knows one user for 12 acres; that one user she suspects is taking up about two acres of the site. What is being discussed, however, is the rezoning of the entire piece. She noted also that staff would like to see one architectural unit come out of this; if that is not possible staff then would like to see some architectural theme carried through. Mr. Jankowski moved to approve the concept plan. Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Mr. Jankowski, yes; Mayor Close, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes Ms. Maurer said that it appeared to her that the staff asked for a text that would be generated that would address permitted uses, and asked if that had been done to staff's satisfaction. Ms. Clarke said that that was still being worked on, and that before the property is zoned that staff obviously has to have a set of land uses on which both can agree, and that Council has input as to what uses would be appropriate or not appropriate at the juncture at which that input is appropriate. Ms. Maurer said that she had a concern with the fact that the Village is determining uses on two acres our of 12. Mayor Close said that in a concept approval that what Council is saying is that at this point Council has no problem with what has been developed so far. Ms. Maurer voted yes. Request for Approval of Concept Plan Lowell Trace Ms. Clarke said that Lowell Trace is a development that is proposed for the west side of Avery Road. It is basically the northwest corner of Avery and Post Roads. It is 95.7 acres. The applicant is proposing two distinct land uses - one is an office use. To the north of the North Fork of Indian Run would be a residential sub- division. The applicant is proposing two phases - the total number of units being proposed is 157. The minimum lot size is over 10,000 square feet. The minimum lot is basically an 80 foot lot. The applicant was asked by staff to address the possible traffic circula- tion for a property which is located to the north of this site. He has no interest in developing that property, but in ord~ to make sure that there was access to the Avery Road interchange, for example, and because we anticipated that the land use to the north of this would most likely be low density residential, staff wanted to make sure that at that time that property is right for development; that there is a road system in place that will in fact function for everyone. The applicant has spent some considerable time and effort to develop a road system for those properties as well. The park land dedication; the requirement is about 9.8 acres and the applicant is dedicating outright over 25 acres. Staff's recommendation is approval. \-.: RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS At inutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ Meeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held April 6, 1987 19 Page Thrttteen Mr. Hale, Jr. further described the location of the site. Mr. Hale said that Mr. Grabill's intent upon platting this development is also to give to the City basically the second phase of this for an overall park plan that has about 40 acres in it. He noted that they cannot commit to that as a part of the rezoning because of tax ramifications. Parks and Recreation and staff wanted "this road" extended through the park so that Mr. Rakestraw and Mr. McKitrick could pick it up, and at a cost of approximately $120,000.00 Mr. Grabill has committed to do that. There is also a commitment to complete all of the bikeways that are shown in the development as part of the first phase. The office is committed to be a uniformly developed office park, with uniform architecture. In developing the applicant looked at a street system for the entire west side of Avery. There are two detention ponds, and there is a commitment that one of them will be wet. Mr. Muchnicki commented that the road that is proposed north through the park should not be put in. He noted that because of the large woods in the area that this is an ideal area in which to develop a larger park. He noted that he thought that it was contrary to the concept that they were working for to put a road through the middle of this area, particularly a road that does not do anything but take people and run them through residential streets to get them back to the same road that they would get to if they went out that road to begin with. Mr. Muchnicki also said that the Citizens for Better Planning group thinks that this is a vastly improved project over what Mr. Grabill initially indicated, and believe that he has been cooperative, and if Council decides that it is to be rezoned this is a reasonable proposal that gives a benefit to the citizens of Dublin beyond the narrow technicalities of the Zoning Code. Ms. Clarke said that staff feels that land use to the north of the creek will be single family; at some point there will be sewerlines available to the site. As such, staff has no reason to isolate one neighborhood from another. Mr. Amorose said that the reason he supports the north road is that he feels that the Village needs a little exposure to the gree space, to the park. Mrs. Robyn Fillman said that she had a concern with the office building, replicating Indian Run Meadow around her property, specifically mentioning traffic patterns. She suggested that it might be better if Mr. Mast kept his residence on the property. She did have a positive reaction to the single family dwellings in the area, as well as the promise of a privacy fence around her property. Mr. Amorose moved for approval. Ms. Maurer seconded the motion. Dr. Stoycheff commented on the number of people that are angry about the growth that has occurred in the northwest quadrant of Dublin. He said that he felt that this is the beginning of development for the entire area, complimented Councilman Jankowski on his courage for voting against the last item. Appeal from Decision of Board of Zoning Appeals, Dublin Phillips 66 Mayor Close said that this item is merely for purposes of review. The appeal from the decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals concerning the Dublin Phillips 66 and Mr. Bettis's project. He noted that in each of the packets there has been included an entire transcript of the proceedings befcre the Board of Zoning Appeals. In connection with that we will take no additional testimony; the record will not be supplemented. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ICS Meeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held . April 6, 1987 19 Page Foorteen Mayor Close asked the Law Director whether or not it is his opinion that th decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals and the decision of the Archi- tectural Review Board is supportable in law. Mr. Smith responded in the affirmative. Mr. Smith said that the applicant has made application to modify the two presently existing business signs. The application was denied by the Architectural Review Board based on the fact that even though there was a "grandfather clause" and even though they are valid non-conforming uses this is a historical district and they must meet different standards in the historical district pursuant to 1191.05 and also Section 705 of the Dublin Charter and 1191.02 of the Dublin Codified Ordinances. The applican went to the Board of Zoning Appeals; the Board of Zoning Appeals said, yes they are valid non-conforming uses; yes, you want to reduce the size of the sign, but we feel you still have to conform with the historical district. We think that takes precedence over the grandfather clause. That is the whole issue. The applicant initiated litigation in Common Pleas Court. If Council overrules the Board of Zoning Appeals the applicant will be able to leave up the signs that are in place at the present time. If the Counci says that the Board of Zoning Appeals had a right to take that legal positi n, then it will go down and be argued in the Court of Common Pleas whether or not the grandfather clause or the historical district takes precedence. That is what the Council is to vote on. Mr. Darragh told Ms. Maurer that ground signs by the guidelines of the Architectural Review Board are permitted to be six square feet in area and eight feet in height. Those are the guidelines of the Architectural Review Board. He noted that in reality the Architectural Review Board has the power to approve any ground sign up to and including the maximum size and height permitted by the Code for the balance of the Village which is 15 feet maximum height and 50 square feet in area. Mayor Close noted that in this case a yes vote would sustain the decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals; a no vote would overturn the vote of the Board of Zoning Appeals and would allow the sign to remain as it is. Mr. Smith said that Council was present to determine whether or not the Board of Zoning Appeals had a reasonable, arguable position to sustain the judgment of the Architectural Review Board. Mr. Rozanski moved to table the request until the May 4, 1987 meeting of Council in order to get additional information (mentioning specifically the two legal briefs). Mr. Jankowski seconded the motion. The vote was 5-0 in favor of the motion. Request for Street Lights, Weybridge West, Muirfield Village Phase 29 Ms. Prushing said that the street lights proposed for this phase are the same or similar lights that are proposed for the rest of Muirfield; they have a plan to replace all those lights. Ms. Prushing recommended approval. Ms. Maurer moved to approve the request for street lights for Weybridge Wes . Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion. Mrs. Holt submitted a petition requesting the reduction of the speed limit on Martin Road from 35 mph to 25 mph. The Police Chief and the Law Director will study the request and report back to Mrs. Holt. executive session at 10:30 P.M.
